Save the Date: Amref Art Ball 2018 honoring Toyin Ojih Odutola

As a committee member for the third year, I’d love for you to SAVE THE DATE! Amref Art Ball 2018 is coming… Saturday, April 28th join me at A/D/O to honor Toyin Ojih Odutola, bid on contemporary African art, open bar, food, and fun. Early bird tickets now available at amrefusa.org/artball

The third annual ArtBall is a premier contemporary African art auction and philanthropic event that aims to raise funds and awareness for Amref Health Africa. ArtBall will honor artist Toyin Ojih Odutola with the Rees Visionary Award.

ArtBall 2018 will feature both a silent and live auction via Artsy, showcasing works from over 25 African artists. Admission to the event includes an open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres, entertainment including a DJ and a special performance, and educational activations about the work Amref Health Africa does to create lasting health change in Africa.

The event this year will be held in A/D/O, a creative space located between the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint. With over 23,000 square feet of space, A/D/O houses gallery space, a shop, a restaurant, and workspace for creative professionals and start-ups

All proceeds from the event will support Amref Health Africa’s groundbreaking work in training local African health workers and building health systems at the community level.
